Will this work if you are not on a race track. I want to time bus driver rotation routes.

I believe it would. You can create your own "track". So you would have to create a "Track" for each bus route. I've never created a track, so I cannot say how easy or difficult it is to do.
10191
It should work. I was able to map a track that was not on the list. In your case it would be difficult because the bus makes stops it's not a starting line and finish line and routes can change.
10192
Yes it will, just set a starting point and make sure you end at least he exact same point.
10193
You can create your own "racetrack" which is quite easy. Just drive your "track" and tell the system where your start- and finishline is. That can be a circle-type course as well as a one-way-track with start and finish at different locations. However the system gets in trouble, if you come close to a point where you have been before, like a figure-"8"-shape-track. I think it´s not possible to use the same street in opposite directions on the same track. Maybe you can solve this problem but I don´t know how.Kind regardsHinrich Groeneveld

Yes. You press a button to set a "start point", and it will create a 'track' once you cross that spot again.

I've used it on my mountain bike. I was doing a 4min loop. Worked perfect. Manual says you can also set it up to work with a finish line that is different than the start line (not a loop). When I use it for a car race track, I walk to the start line, create a circuit - that's it. That start line is in there for good, unless you delete it. Race cars tent to not stop on track, and if they do, lap time means nothing. Buses stop a lot - this should not effect it, as there are some settings to control how it works when the motion stops. Hope this helps.

Do you plan to take your bus on a race track? You will have to check with your local race-track to learn about their risk-assessment for vehicles with payloads over 10,000 lbs. However, I am pretty certain that you will not be allowed to have children under the age of 12 while on the track.

No, but it gives choices of routes, and you can program it to avoid certain roads and road types (such as no toll roads), fastest route, shortest route. I haven't looked at the route choices yet. I have not had an issue with either of my Garmin GPS units not getting me to my destination; so I usually just let it take me, unless I decide as I'm driving to change roads, then it just re-routes based on the road I am currently on. You could also plot a via point to force it to go a certain way, which I have done with my older unit.

No. The current location isn't always accurate. And the trackr disconnects time from time giving you a false location.

I just used the GPS on a long road trip. It was very fast and seemed to stay up with quick turns and tunnels and overpasses. It did not keep track of starting mileage and other information which allowed you to calculate gas mileage, parked time, etc. It only reports time to destination in hour and minutes, and the mileage remaining.
1080848
Absolutely not. This only tracks your mileage that your run. I has no map etc.

check the app store for the torque application. I used this with my GS3. It's not fast enough to do the real time data on the road, but it worked to disable my wife's reverse beeping and seatbelt reminders on her Prius.

Yes, it will recalculate and give you the shortest route to your designated location if you miss a turn or choose to take another route. It will adjust based on your gps location.
411838
No, you can not program routes, however you can recalculate as you're driving and it will provide an alternate route.
1596310
Yes. It will work while you are in a vehicle on the trails. I have used it to get to GPS locations off of streets in the middle of nowhere.

I was surprised when I got this that it didn't tell you how in the manual. The way I turned it on is to change your profile. Go to the tools (wrench and screwdriver at the bottom of the screen) and select profiles. If you select "vehicle" it will give you directions when you input a destination. At least mine did when I told it to go to a geocache. As for your maps, I have both selected. World maps and Detailed. The detailed is the summit and city series, so I would bet it would have to be checked to enable the turn by turn. Good luck.

I find the 1450 frustrating to set up routes the way I want them. They should at least include MapSource with it. Hopefully I will find a solution...

really don't think so. the unit is self learning so if you drive the route it will remember it. It also learns the fastest route and will suggest it -if you go to the same place 2 different ways it will learn both and suggest the fastest one.
1075162
Yes you can and the instructions are in the software, but it doesn't give you turn by turn, just arrow indicating where you are and when the turn is coming up.
1095797
It will, the traffic is like most gps systems and has a little lag time, it also does need to be activated for a one time $50 fee.

This does not do that this is strictly an interval timer that you set for a specific length of time. You might want to consider the Garmin watches that track using GPS. There is a great comparison on a website by DCRainmaker. You can Google him.

the way it's supposed to work is to press the middle left button. keep it still outside. it should say searching for gps. then when it finds satellite it will let you pick pace or time or clock from the middle right button. then the top right button will start the distance

When you enter the route you want, the unit will show you one route. You can only change the route by adding way points. I wish it would give you at least one more option to choose from, but this unit doesn't.
